Nets gonna blow it up at the deadline?

^ If there were some way we could acquire KG for like Mahinmi and Solomon Hill, while some other teams sends them a 1st rounder? I'd be interested. KG off the bench at backup center with Scola? Would be lethal. KG expires at season's end too (contract). And he is very familiar with the Heat in playoff competition. Another wiley vet who can draw fouls, shoot, and defend would be nice. He might even accept a bench role just to get the heck out of Brooklyn and go to a contender.

Re: Nets gonna blow it up at the deadline?

Honestly, I loved KG when he was great, but I'd rather have Ian at this point and its not really close. Garnett at best is a worse version of West and Scola, and the Pacers are double down on that.

"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."

Re: Nets gonna blow it up at the deadline?

The only Player that I'd consider would be swapping Copeland for Reggie Evans ( this would save the Team about $1.4 mil in 2014-2015 Cap Space )....but I doubt that the Nets would do that. If they have a firesale...it would be to clear out as much 2014-2015 Salary as possible.

Re: Nets gonna blow it up at the deadline?

Nope I'd rather have Mahinmi and Solo honestly. KG is a jerk, and he's done.

KG is so done you could find a bum in the NBDL who could give you more. I would rather have Ian than KG and it's not close. He is living on his name at this point. I recently saw all star voting and he's getting more votes than Noah, Drummond, Chandler, Lopez and Josh Smith. It's really nuts that he has any votes.

Grimp, you really gotta stop.

First off, study the CBA and how the salary cap and trades work. KG make 11.5M this season and 12M next season. Ian and SHill total 5.2M this season and 5.3M next season. It is not possible for us to acquire KG without giving up one of our key players.

Secondly, there is no way in heck I'd ever want to see KG anywhere near one of our players, let alone in our locker room. I don't exactly think he fits in with our philosophy, especially in terms of what our players do out in the community. Culture wise, he would be a step backwards.

A few years ago, assistant coach Vogel asked KG to say a few encouraging words to our rookies when we visited Boston. KG's response? "Eff your rookies!". No, KG would be one of the last players Vogel would welcome to his locker room.

Re: Nets gonna blow it up at the deadline?

KG at 50 is still a better player than Mahinmi lol at those that think Ian is better than KG, now with that said I don't want KG the only person I would want from Brooklyn is Pierce and that is if Danny doesn't improve and looks like yesterday.

Re: Nets gonna blow it up at the deadline?

would give em cope and a first for plumlee. steep price but I like plumlees game.

Nope. I'm not inclined to give up first round picks. I don't want to go down the rabbit hole the Nets/Knicks find themselves in where every other year they are dealing away first rounders. We dealt this year's away. No more.

you would not give up a future first for plumlee?? plumlee reminds me of a potential foster type player.

Re: Nets gonna blow it up at the deadline?

Most of the NBA is willing to allow KG linger in the mess that is the Nets. KG has built no goodwill (or bridges) in his years in the NBA. It's karma coming to bite KG after all of his years of disrespect. His locker room presence alone would mess with most teams' chemistry, as it has with every stop on Garnett's resume.

Our offense would be better with 4 guys than 4 guys and Garnett. His offensive win share is -.6. He is one of the biggest detriment to offenses this year. He's a black hole of suck. This is his play catching up to his personality and respect.

were not drafting in the lottery anytime soon.

If they're blowing it up then why would they trade Plumlee? They'd keep him, start him and hope for a Celtics-esque performance by whoever is left. The only potentially attainable player I'd be interested in would be Reggie Evans, and even then no thanks.

And I agree w/ cdash, no more giving away 1st round picks. This team was built through the draft and it's the best way to ensure continuity on a relative budget.

that's all I would want from the nets. the rest is garbage. don't even want deron Williams and his massive contract. if we can get in on a 3 way deal I would take that deal.

is that future 1st going to be a better player than Plumlee??? potentially a very late 1st. I agree,, not gonnna happen,, but just saying that's all I would be interested in.

+1000

We will likely be in the position where we have to find cheap talent that can be developed into a future Starter or ( more than likely ) a future rotational Player. We won't have the Capspace to go after such talent if we re-sign Lance or whoever.
